MARY NOAILLES MURFREE.

Since the time when George Eliot was
so great sensation as that created by the
discovery of feminine personality behind
the name of Charles Egbert Graddock.
While well known that Craddock was an
assumed name, the style, subject-matter,
even the hand writing contained no fem
mime suggestions.
Charles Egbert Craddock has been
favorite contributor to the Atlantic for
several years. The first published story
was 'sThe Daucin' at Harrison's Cove"
When Mr.. Aldrich became editor of the
Atlantic, he remembered this story, and
his first act was to write to the author, ask
ing for further contributions. He received
pleasant reply which, however did not
throw much light upon the authors per-
sonality The manuscript of ''Mr. Grad
dock certainly had nothing feminine
about it. 1t was almost startlingly vigor-
Gus, with large, bold characters, every
letter as plain as print, and in the writings
there is not the slightest trace of feminine
influence Some dav in 1885, when Mr..
Aldrich was in his Office, word was brought
that lady wished to see him. and he was
very much surprised when he heard that
she was Charles Egbert Craddock.
Miss Mary Noailles Murfree, known by
the nom de plume of Charles Egbert Grad
dock, is the authoress of the beautiful and
powerful stories of Tennessee Mountain
Life, that have appeared in the Atlantic
several years ago.
Miss Murfree was born at Murfreesboro,
town which is named after her grand
fathers name, he having done good
service in the Revolutionary War. Her
father was prominent lawyer who has
written works regarded as authority in he
courts. The location Of the novel,
''Where the battle was fought. = is Muir
freesboro. and the windows of the house
where her family lived, overlooked the
battle-ground. In 1888 they removed to
st. Louis.
Miss Murfree wrote many interesting
stories, as THE Star in the Valley, "A
Playin' Of Old Sledge at the Settlement.
and others. '.In the Clouds. her latest
work, shows mastery of construction, in
which it's predecessors were deficient, pos
sesses their salient features with some new
ones, and goes so far TO establish an
already assured reputation.
